Normalcy

I’m happy in my cage
the gold it shines so bright 
can’t differ or astray 
from thoughts within my mind

They help me to conform 
they help me to be free
until the night it comes
lights up monstrosities 

Thoughts keep me from myself
they’re keeping me from you
oh where oh where am I
but hiding in the blue 

You’ll see that I’m not swaying 
or moving to and fro 
i’m sailing far away 
into the mistress’s cove
